Good morning. \u00c2\u00a0Today the boys are Principal for a day. \u00c2\u00a0They will be helping Mr. Collins with his duties as Principal and then having lunch in his office this afternoon. \u00c2\u00a0He (Mr.Collins) is ordering Subway for the kiddos and himself. \u00c2\u00a0That will really make the boys happy. \u00c2\u00a0I’m going to the school to take advantage of this photo \u00c2\u00a0opportunity. \u00c2\u00a0I also need to drop off some pirate props for the music teacher….she is using the pirate ship that I made for the school dance at the beginning of the year. The 2nd grade performance is Thursday at 7p.m. for any of you that can make it…I’m sure the youngest would be thrilled. \u00c2\u00a0He has a line…”A Pirates Life For Me.”<\/p>\n
The Mister is off already to make his rounds with a wine rep. \u00c2\u00a0I think he may make it home by 5:30 or 6..long day of driving.<\/p>\n
The house….yes, it looks as if a bomb went off in every room. \u00c2\u00a0Seriously, every room. \u00c2\u00a0There is a mess from breakfast, boy am I ever a messy cook. Laundry on the floor of the boys room and in front of the bathroom\/laundry room. We have a pirate skeleton on the floor of the family room along with a toy cross bow the kids were playing with last night…and of course the ever present pooch hair. \u00c2\u00a0I think I’ll only tackle one or two of the messes today.<\/span><\/p>\n The political commercials\u00c2\u00a0are hilarious…I wonder how many people believe what they see on t.v. There was a “Happy Mother’s Day” add that was really funny and perhaps true, but no one really knows..maybe the candidates. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Twelve days of school left….ugg. \u00c2\u00a0I really enjoy having the summer with the boys, butI always worry about what is known as the “summer slide.” \u00c2\u00a0The summer slide is not what it sounds like. \u00c2\u00a0It is not a fun swirling, twirling slide that lands you in the water. \u00c2\u00a0Instead, it is the backslide that every teacher dreads. \u00c2\u00a0The kids come back to school 3 or 4 months behind from where they left off in the spring. \u00c2\u00a0I plan on the boys enjoying their summer, but school is much more advanced than it was when I was a girl. \u00c2\u00a0Second graders learn prefixes and suffixes as well as world geography and math that we learned in 5th grade. \u00c2\u00a0The 4th graders are working on presentations, essays and the math of my 7th grade. \u00c2\u00a0It seems like a lot, but they do it with no hesitation. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Amazing!! \u00c2\u00a0Anyway, I usually have their workbooks for summer by now and plans for a bit of a summer schedule. \u00c2\u00a0Not this year. \u00c2\u00a0I think I’ll give Barnes and Noble a call this morning for workbooks.<\/p>\n I am off to let my barking dog in and hed to school for the photo opp.<\/p>\n Have a great day and God Bless,<\/p>\n LLF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good morning. \u00c2\u00a0Today the boys are Principal for a day. \u00c2\u00a0They will be helping Mr. Collins with his duties as Principal and then having lunch in his office this afternoon. \u00c2\u00a0He (Mr.Collins) is ordering Subway for the kiddos and himself. … Continue reading
